"The Osbournes with Asperger's." – Mojo magazine
Best known for his 1979 smash hit Cars, Gary Numan was one of the spearheads of the 80s synthpop phenomenon. The strange humanoid made industrial music commercial, then presumably returned to his home planet. But more than 30 years on, he's still here, he's creatively frustrated, and he's moving the family to LA!
Directors Steve Read and Rob Alexander present a revealing snapshot of a very public recluse in the throes of an attempted comeback. In order to do so, he must triumph over lifelong mental health issues and a bloodthirsty industry whose only currency is chart success. With a marquee character in obsessed-fan-turned-wife Gemma, collaborators such as Trent Reznor, and a look slick enough to befit its subject, Gary Numan: Android in La La Land is an arresting insight, not just into the man but also the artistic process.
"Startlingly honest and sincere, this is essential viewing for fans of Numan and electronic music." – Austin360
